Embedded Software Design for Safety Critical Systems

Modern electronics systems increasingly make use of embedded software to add functionality, increase flexibility and improve performance. The design and development of such systems is becoming ever more complex and sophisticated, but as this complexity increases, so does the risk of serious consequences if it goes wrong. This is especially true in safety critical systems where life could be placed in danger when systems fail.

In some market sectors – for instance the automotive industry – certain development processes, tools, guidelines and standards have emerged and matured over time to ensure that systems are as safe and reliable as they could be in practicality. However, we are increasingly seeing the use of active electronics in a wide range of other applications that have safety critical characteristics, such as aerospace, railway, oil and gas, nuclear and even medical. In each of these industries we are starting to see processes, tools and standards emerge to enable the successful development of safety critical systems.

This event is aimed at examining some of the different approaches to Safety Critical System Design in these various market sectors and identifying opportunities for knowledge transfer and sharing best practices.
